Save money, increase profits, and add value to your organization.
Workplace conflict is unpleasant, disruptive, and expensive. It's your job as a leader, to create an environment that encourages teamwork and reduces drama and discontent.
The reality is that's easier said than done.
The truth is, very few leaders have been taught how to handle the types of problems that can cause dysfunction in an organization. This causes stress, frustration, and overwhelm. After all, you're good at your job, but the "people" part can feel impossible to navigate.
- Frequent filings of grievances and formal complaints
- Low productivity
- Tense interactions
- A culture of blame
- High absenteeism rates
Unfortunately, the issues you're facing are often only symptoms of deeper challenges…
And how do you figure out what those deeper challenges are… and how to fix them?
What are your options?
The DIY approach:
Continue the same approaches you’ve used previously (which likely weren’t overly successful if you’re reading this!)
Look for new approaches - Do a ton of research, reflection and then try the shot-gun approach… (shoot a lot of ammunition at the issues and hope something connects) or try different solutions
Talk to others in similar situations and do what they did – might work but just as likely won’t as they’re dealing with their situation and you’re dealing with yours
TIP: It's important to recognize that what may look promising or work in the short term will NOT be effective in the medium or long term! Short-term solutions are designed to do something quickly to get things under control, they are not designed to be solid maintenance or recovery solutions.
